Barbecue chicken sandwich with mixed green salad

This is the perfect recipe to put together for an easy, healthy, family meal. Enjoy it as an open faced sandwich for a lighter meal. I like to substitute a piece of lettuce for the top portion of the bun, this way, the chicken stays together. Pair this with a mixed green salad to get a dose of your daily vitamins and minerals! Be sure to measure your salad dressing as it is easy to consume a lot of added fat and calories by dosing the dressing!
